Lightweight HPS-to-FPGA AXI Master Interface
The lightweight HPS-to-FPGA AXI master interface,
h2f_lw_axi_master
, is connected to a Mentor
Graphics AXI master BFM for simulation. Qsys configures the BFM as shown in the following table. The
BFM clock input is connected to
h2f_lw_axi_clock
clock.

FPGA-to-HPS SDRAM Interface
The HPS component contains a memory interface simulation model to which all of the FPGA-to-HPS
SDRAM interfaces are connected. The model is based on the HPS implementation and provides cycle-level
accuracy, reflecting the true bandwidth and latency of the interface. However, the model does not have the
detailed configuration provided by the HPS software, and hence does not reflect any inter-port scheduling
that might occur under contention on the real hardware when different priorities or weights are used.
